(4) K-3 Illustrated by Daniel Powers. "Snow falls, ice grips, forest sleeps; / Wait, worms, wait." Through the seasons, worms gradually help to decompose a bag of garbage. This tale of natural recycling is told in a brief, simplistic text and bold, sometimes confusing illustrations. An informative final page about worms and recycling helps readers more clearly understand the cycles of decomposition portrayed in the story.
